Hi,
First, many thanks to all for this thread! :thumbsup:
I was fighting since months with 2nd slot, spent many hours investigating, testing, analysing logs...
And finaly yesterday I got the explanations from here, about this sh%%y bug.

I tried different firmwares, but it's not better managed :sweat:

I must say that now I'm part of the group of the very disappointed Fiio customers...

Because:
It's only there:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fii...nd-wifi-opt-out.854353/page-317#post-14341961
that Fiio recognize the issue.
Nowhere else customers are informed! Nor on Fiio support site nor official forum.
And I didn't get the information from support emails.

It's clearly an unacceptable poor chip choice, knowing that the X7II was not a cheap/low-end player.

My friend has an X5III and she faces the same issue, because of that for example NeutronMP is not easy to use. I'm in touch with its developper, but since it's a kind of hack this 2nd sd slot management, it's not clear how it should be managed, and also is it really up to each app developper to do special workaround for an issue in design limitation, which is not solved by firmware?
They were sold as "2 slots players", but the 2nd one is not bug-free :angry:

Now the only solution is to buy a bigger sd card, and use a single 256gb instead of two 128gb.

It's my 4th Fiio player, and the 3rd one for my friend. But it's probably the last Fiio ones that we have...

Sebastien

I bought a 1000 gb card during the Christmas black friday deals. No issues now with the dual slot timing configuration problem. I'm now ready for an eventual purchase of the M15 once they work out the bugs and I see just how stable it is.

Fiio is an unacceptable company. I have bought Fiio X7 mark ii and I figured out quickly that its construction was at best mediocre. Firstly its screen is so easily press and has that annoying ripple effect that you could see in a smartphone of 70 euros. Also after a couple of months volume knob started not working properly. Thirdly its battery draining even if it is not working! Come on Fiio you can do better... especially for devices that are so expensive. I won't buy filo again unless its cheaper models below 100 euros ...

I did, using a FiiO HS2 switcher. Only the SE outputs were compared, and I didn't notice any difference switching in real time from one to the other.

Thanks for the reply. There is someone on a FiiO Facebook page who says he prefers the X7ii & AM3D over the M11 Pro. I can't understand how it can even sound as good, let alone better as the Pro must have a better DAC and other improvements over the nearly three year old tech in the X7ii?
